Malachi 1:6-9
-The LORD of Heaven's Armies says to the priests: "A son honors his father, and a servant respects his master. If I am your father and master, where are the honor and respect I deserve? You have shown contempt for my name! "But you ask, 'How have we ever shown contempt for your name?'
-"You have shown contempt by offering defiled sacrifices on my altar. "Then you ask, 'How have we defiled the sacrifices?' "You defile them by saying the altar of the LORD deserves no respect.
-When you give blind animals as sacrifices, isn't that wrong? And isn't it wrong to offer animals that are crippled and diseased? Try giving gifts like that to your governor, and see how pleased he is!" says the LORD of Heaven's Armies.
- "Go ahead, beg God to be merciful to you! But when you bring that kind of offering, why should he show you any favor at all?" asks the LORD of Heaven's Armies.
LUKE 6:38
Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back."
2 Corinthians 9:6-7
But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall also reap sparingly, and he which soweth bountifully shall also reap bountifully.
-Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
God is a giver!
You can't say you love God and have his nature and not be a crazy giver. The fact that charlatans in several quarters of Christendom have abused the subject of giving, canceling a key biblical concept because of the actions of adventurers masquerading as gospel ministers, only plays into the hands of the devil. But let us not be swayed, for the biblical concept of giving is a steadfast truth.
Spiritual toddlers want a Christianity that leaves them with zero responsibilities, but true sons of God are co-laborers with God. God is raising an army not a mob of Spiritual toddlers who celebrate errors as revelation.

ISAIAH 11:1
And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
A rod doesn't just emerge; it must come out of a stem. A branch can't grow out without a connection to its roots. Did you get it?
Today's generation thinks this ancient rule is now obsolete. That's why many of this generation are exiting the earth in record numbers earlier than ordained.
John said about Jesus, " Luke 3:16, "I'm not worthy to untie the straps of his sandals," still Jesus went to him for Baptism. Why? John was a forerunner, and Christ had to give credence to the spiritual alignment.
Paul had his encounter with Christ alone on his way to Damascus but needed Ananias, who was a disciple of Christ, to lay hands on him for his sight to be restored. Acts 9:10-19.
Paul was already in the ministry before he joined others in the church in Antioch and waited until he was commissioned. Acts 13: 1-4
After years of ministering with impact and results, he stopped whatever he was doing. He traveled to Jerusalem to meet with the elders and Pillars of the faith to share with them the "gospel he was preaching among the Gentiles." Galatians 2: 1-2.
What for?
Paul wanted to make sure that he wasn't preaching his own gospel, thinking it was the gospel of Christ, and end up running the race in vain.
Who does that today? Just a few fools for Christ!
When you hear messages like " Heaven is a scam," "There is no Hell," or "Sin can't take you to Hell," you don't need to read the entire Bible; start only from the book of Acts "Jesus Christ is not coming," there is no Rapture and others. These rhetorics aren't revelations but errors rooted in spiritual pride and arrogance.
The faith was delivered to the saints, Jude 1:3, not us. The roots of the Faith don't exist in the present but in the past.
When pride leads, ancient landmarks are disregarded and laughed at to the detriment of the proud. Proverbs 22:28-29
I have so much to say, but time won't permit. I weep for this generation. Pride is taking many to their early graves, and sadly, many more are still on the same path, following and heading to self-destruction.

LUKE 22:42
He said, "Father, if it's your will, take this cup of suffering away from me. However, not my will but your will must be done."
God's love for you is so protective that He won't grant your deepest desires if they lead you away from Him. This protective love ensures you are always guided towards His light, even when you may not understand His ways. In stark contrast, the Devil's hatred for you is so intense that he's willing to fulfill your every wish if he can claim your soul and distance you from God.
That's why God is not obliged to answer all our prayers. Some things we want so badly may hurt us more than help us.
Every prayer should end with the words, "Not as I will, but thy will be done." This act of aligning your will with God's is a powerful step towards spiritual growth. The best place to be is in the center of God's will, but it takes a renewed mind to see in that light.
The idea that God is all about giving us whatever we ask is ignorance on fire. Growing in the knowledge of God's will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding should be the place the fivefold ministry should desire to take the saints to, not organizing prayer meetings here and there for trivialities. Colossians 1:9.
Some of those meetings look so weird because the people leading the prayers and those praying are unenlightened in the ways of God. "I tire religion!"
Let's learn to move on with God even when He says "NO" to our wishes. This resilience and unwavering faith, even in the face of disappointment, defines spiritual stability. Serving God in and out of season is a testament to this stability.
During the Iraq war, led by the USA and Western ally forces of Britain and France, fighting to topple the regime of President Saddam Hussien of Iraq, the war became fiercer when they drew near to where Saddam Hussien was hiding.
What made the US-led forces believe that a high-price profile target was within the area was the fierceness of the battle and the quality of republican guards stationed there. It was a small area compared to the vast areas of Badgad the US-led forces had already conquered, but Saddam Hussien stationed his elite forces there.
Despite the fierce opposition, the US-LED forces demonstrated unwavering courage and commitment. They persevered, broke through the resistance, and discovered Saddam Hussien hiding inside the tunnel. This discovery reveals why the battle was so intense.
Saddam Hussien of Iraq was pulled out of his hideout, but it wasn't a walk in the park for the US-led coalition forces.
What are the lessons in the story, and how do they apply to our spiritual warfare?
1) Fierce opposition at a given time may not indicate that you were in the wrong place or doing the wrong thing but may be a sign of a valued target or breakthrough within reach.
Soldiers who keep running away from participating in such fierce battles may ultimately retire with nothing captivating to write in their memoirs.
True elite forces don't shy away from a fight when the advancement of the kingdom is at stake. Many of Saddam Hussien's elite forces were lost in battle, as well as many US-LED soldiers, but they died with honor, defending their cause.
## Those to be crowned as the elite kingdom army of men and women who ultimately overcome the devil, the scripture says about them in Revelation 12:11, **"They did not love their lives unto the death!"** This verse speaks to the courage and commitment of those willing to sacrifice their lives for the kingdom of God.
We praise God for the victory by the blood of the lamb and the words of our testimonies. Still, the ultimate victory the church longs for will only come when a generation of men and women arise on this people's planet who will not love their lives even unto death. This means that if it has to cause their lives to advance or defend the interests of the kingdom of God, they are willing to lay it down.
Presently, the body of Christ is filled with purported soldiers of Christ who are but civilians in their mentality. They love their lives more than the cause of thy kingdom come. They worship the God of convenience and can't give it up to fight alongside the brave men and women who have accepted the mandate to invade hell's streets to rescue souls and are fighting to advance the kingdom even at the expense of their lives.
The battle cry is sounding, but many are deaf to it. Yet, a remnant is standing firm, refusing to cede any territory to the forces of darkness. They are the remnant soldiers of Christ, and their faith is unwavering. With God on their side, victory is assured.
**2 Timothy 2:3-4**
**Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian affairs--he wants to please his commanding officer. **
Onward Christian soldiers!
VISIONARY
When the gospel of the kingdom is taught and preached in its simplicity and profoundness, it will raise an army for the Lord, not mere fans. Every believer is supposed to be an integral part of the Lord's army in their city or nation. That is the calling of the fivefold ministry: to perfect the saints for the work of the ministry, not to raise a large fan base. Eph 4:11-14. The book of Revelation says about this army, "They loved not their lives even unto death." Rev 12:11.
The kingdom of God owes its advancement throughout history to the army of God, and you are supposed to be a crucial part of it.
Fans are mere fanatics. They rant on social media and offline, defending the views of their favorite preacher, but can't tell where they truly count in advancing the kingdom on Earth. What a waste.
Sadly, most of today's preachers are busy expanding their fan base but raising zero consequential people in the Lord's battle of the hour. They bathe in their fans' praises, and it drives them even more crazy to continue feeding them with more controversies and what they like to hear instead of what they need to know.
The generation that passed on the baton of the gospel to us was focused on winning the lost and equipping the saints. Today, we brag about our newfound revelations of Christ, but sadly, it only raises proud, arrogant, and biblically ignorant fans who aren't a menace to hell and Satan's overall strategy. Guess what! The devil is the only person enjoying the drama, not heaven.
The kingdom of God advances through the partnership of the Sowers and Reapers, and they share the same rewards. Just as in any army, not every soldier goes to war; others carry out backup activities, and so does God's army.
If you aren't a kingdom Sower, you should be a Reaper; if you aren't any of the above, you are a liability in the kingdom. But it's not too late. You can transition from being a liability to actively participating in the Thy Kingdom Come project. Your active participation is crucial in advancing the kingdom of God. Let this inspire and motivate you to take on a more active role.
Meditate on the scripture below.
John 4:35-38
Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labor: other men labored, and ye are entered into their labors.
THE PARTNERSHIP OF THE SOWERS AND REAPERS TERRIFIES HELL! LET'S GET BACK TO IT!
When one teaches and preaches the true gospel of the kingdom, they may never trend on social media. 2 Timothy 4:1-5. If one's passion is to trend on social media, the individual will backslide from a minister of God to a clown entertainer. It is time to get back on track.

Read the scriptures below and follow me carefully.
Jude 1:11-25 KJV
Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. "They have gone the way of Cain." Who?
Let's journey back to the dawn of humanity, to the story of Cain, the first son of Adam and Eve, who tragically killed his brother, Abel, as recorded in Genesis 4:1-16. Fast-forward 4000 years, and we find Jude, in his epistle (Jude 1:11), using Cain as a caution for those who had strayed from the path. But how did these individuals, so far removed from Cain's time, come to embody his character?
How do people replicate the attitude and manifest the character of men who lived 4000 years or more before their time? This article focuses on uncovering that. Remember, it is a book in the making, but I must give you a piece of the pie. "And ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward."
We know Balaam, the first 'Profit' who masqueraded as a Prophet. You could hire Balaam to prophesy for or against anyone at any time if the pay was high. (Numbers 22). How do people in the present repeat history as the scripture says, "And run greedily after the error of Balaam for reward? "
Jezebel, as we know, was the wife of Ahab, notorious for idolatry and perversion. (1 Kings 16:31). Thousands of years later, the Lord warned about a woman he described as Jezebel in Revelation 2:20-23.
The examples are numerous throughout Scripture. The question begging for an answer is, HOW DOES NEGATIVE HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF? We must understand that the invisible world rules the visible world. Ephesians 6:10-18
The invisible world doesn't only have God and his angels at work but also Demonic spirits, principalities, powers, and rulers of darkness under the headship of Satan. Ephesians 6:10-14. These forces orchestrated, programmed, and initiated many negative historical events in individuals, families, nations, etc.
Since spirits don't die, the same spirit that moved Cain to kill his brother thousands of years in history is still alive and moving around and can move an individual to kill another out of envy or a nation to commit genocide against their flesh and blood today.
Negative history repeats itself because most people open themselves to the ancient spirits behind certain negative historical events, and the spirits move them to repeat the same actions, although on a different scale or magnitude in the present.
For instance, the same spirits behind the false teachers and prophets throughout history that inspired their false doctrines and prophecies are still alive today, inspiring some purported preachers to unconsciously spread false teachings and prophecies, thinking they are operating in deeper realms or revelations. There is nothing new under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 1:9). Since their gullible followers aren't acquainted with the church's history and the diverse false teachings and prophecies that have attempted to find their way into the church through various false teachers and prophets (Jude 1:4), they fall cheaply into their gross deceptions, thinking it is some new realm or revelation from God.
If you are acquainted with the history of false teachers and prophets, you can easily see those bearing the same spirits today.
How does one escape the pitfall of repeating negative history? You must study Biblical and contemporary history, stay close to the Lord, and, most importantly, sharpen your discernment. Remember, you have a 98% chance of repeating any history you don't know.
This is deeper than I have expounded on, but I must end here due to time constraints. May the Holy Spirit, our divine guide, grant everyone reading more understanding. Amen

Philippians 3:10
I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection, participate in his sufferings, and become like him in his death.
In today's church space, some want to know Christ but don't tell them anything about sharing in his sufferings. Others want the power of his resurrection but don't bother knowing Christ. Why? The power they are seeking is for their agendas. Paul, the Apostle, wanted all three: the knowledge of Christ, the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings.
We will continue our noise-making, coined as impact until we embrace the totality of Philippians 3:10.
Christ's profound depths can only be reached through the fellowship of his sufferings. The weakness of today's Christianity lies in our reluctance to embrace the cross of Christ, a challenge that calls us to deeper spiritual growth and maturity.
We may talk about it, celebrate Easter, and acknowledge the salvation the cross brought for us. Still, if we deny the cross in our daily lives and ministries, we risk losing its transformative power and the depth of our relationship with Christ.
We could have reached the entire world by now and conquered nations for Christ, but that hasn't been possible because we haven't embraced the cross of Christ to conquer the self-seeking in us, the pride of life, the lust of the flesh, and the vanities of this world that reign supreme as God over our hearts. We can't carry the kind of aura of grace the early church had while living to satisfy our fleshly lust and acquire the vanities of this world.
May the Lord restore us to the teachings of the Apostles.

GLOBAL FAITH COALITION

In the true sense of KingdomNomics, money is not the profit or motivation for a vision or mission but what is lost (Invested)in the process of gaining souls or empowering the saints. That is to say, in KingdomNomics saving souls and empowering the saints are the standard for measuring profit made after a successful implementation of a kingdom assignment, not the amount of money raised.
Most of the time, after major events organized by the Global Faith Coalition, some people write to me asking for financial assistance. They think a successful program surely translates into financial gains. Laughable!
That is where KingdomNomics is different from economics where money gained is the measurement of profit.
Can God at times allow us to be blessed financially while carrying out kingdom work? Oh yes, but the extra is not and should never be the motivation but if in case that happens, we must understand that it is an addition for further investment into empowering people and saving souls, not for self-aggrandizement.
Programs coined as kingdom empowerment or revival programs where money making is the measure of success, are man-made and can't produce genuine and lasting kingdom impact.
That's why by the time Arch Bishop Benson Idahosa of blessed memory passed on, he had no money in his account, and offerings were needed to bury him. He died empty! Why, he wasn't a businessman but a practitioner of KingdomNomics. The art and science of employing money and material resources to gain souls and empower the saints.
In the world, money in the bank is the measurement of a person's wealth, but in KingdomNomics, a man may have nothing in the bank but extremely rich before God because of the money lost to gain souls and empower the saints.
In KingdomNomics, practitioners don't show what they have gained in cash and kind but what they have lost in cash and kind to gain souls and empower the saints.
That's the meaning of what Christ meant when he said, "Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it. Matthew 10:39
Sadly, we are more taught today about how to find our life and gain and gain. That's why, when you bring a kingdom vision to a people, instead of focusing on the Big picture of the impact the vision will make on the body of Christ and souls, they ask what is in it for them. Make money, money, money, is now the song, but losing money to empower the saints and save souls is what ministry is about.
That's why those called to make money (Economics) are called upon to support those called into (KingdomNomics). The partnership between economics and KingdomNomics is key to kingdom advancement. One makes money and the other loses money to gain souls.
If we lose our life, we will gain it but if we try to save our life, we will lose it. Most people can't do much for God because they love money more than they love souls.
THE MARKS OF AN APOSTLE!
(2 Corinthians 11:23-28)
Scars are their stars!
(How many of us today would want to be recognized as an Apostle if the requirements are what we read in these verses)?
2 Corinthians 11: 23-28
23) Are they servants of Christ? I know I sound like a madman, but I have served him far more! I have worked harder, been put in prison more often, been whipped times without number, and faced death again and again.
24) Five different times the Jewish leaders gave me thirty-nine lashes.
25) Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked. Once I spent a whole night and a day adrift at sea.
26) I have traveled on many long journeys. I have faced danger from rivers and from robbers. I have faced danger from my own people, the Jews, as well as from the Gentiles. I have faced danger in the cities, in the deserts, and on the seas. And I have faced danger from men who claim to be believers but are not.
27) I have worked hard and long, enduring many sleepless nights. I have been hungry and thirsty and have often gone without food. I have shivered in the cold, without enough clothing to keep me warm.
28) Then, besides all this, I have the daily burden of my concern for all the churches.

If you are called to be a soccer player in a renowned team, before you pick up the number 9 shirt, it is noble to know a bit of the history of those who wore it and the trophies they won for their team or nation.
Why should anyone arrogate to themselves the appellation of an Apostle without studying the life and ministry of the Apostles, especially the Apostle Paul and other renowned contemporary Apostolic leaders?
Today, some purported Apostles are an embarrassment. They are mostly self-appointed and act as church "rascals" in their modus operandi (Reckless, egoistic, arrogant, unrepentant, and sadly promiscuous).
We must return to true Apostolic foundations and recover the character of the Apostolic office. Our generation needs help!

We may never successfully uproot errors and heresies preachers and teachers within the church space, but we can mitigate their impact on unsuspecting sheep.
The solutions are already in the word, but we aren't willing to use them because the world has taught us to always play nice to please people even if it means displeasing God. We are more concerned about not hurting people's feelings than grieving the Holy Spirit.
Solution 1: Romans 16:17-18
"Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple,"
(Mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned).
We have many of them today online and offline spreading errors and heresies and attacking the fundamentals of the faith, but we haven't come out boldly to denounce their teachings.
The fathers are silent, and their silence has been mistaken for endorsement by those young in the faith.
Mark them, means, calling them out publicly, and distancing oneself from them.
Sadly, those who try to speak out showing the errors in the teachings of some of these folks are attacked by those they are striving to protect from the delusion of smooth tongue-misguided men masquerading as preachers.
If Paul rebuked Peter in Galatians 2:11-14, it means if he were alive today, he would have spoken outrightly on all available platforms denouncing the false teachings of individuals like Joseph Prince, Abel Damina, and the several false teachers, Apostles, and Prophets of this age.
We are too gentle for the last days, and we are giving the devil a foothold in the church space but that will soon change.
Solution 2: Avoid them
But what are we doing? Instead of avoiding them, we are including them. We patronize their erroneous teachings, invite them into our cities, and identify with those spreading their venom all in the guise of the unity of the body of Christ. Sad 😭
Solution 3: Titus 1:11-12, the Bible says, "whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake."
Paul argues that these false teachers should be "silenced". HOW? Not through violence but by constantly exposing their errors through the teachings of the word using the same platforms they are using.
The church is greater than the individual. The body of Apostolic leaders can authoritatively denounce their heresies and silence them with the authority of God. Paul did that to Elymas.
Acts 13:1-12.
We have been too gentle for the Last Days. May the Lord have mercy on us.
Visionary
Working with a Spirit-led strategy for kingdom invasion and conquest of cities, nations, continents, and the world is better than just being busy with ministry activities.
Cities, nations, and entire continents can be shaken and taken over for Christ if we stop the drama, pause, and get hold of the Strategy heaven is downloading in this era through God's Apostolic prophetic messengers.
As someone in the field, I've seen that the problem is no longer Satan but our mindset of "Everyone for himself/ herself, God for us all."
